With the rapid development of the economy and the fast-paced updates of mobile devices, wireless access devices have also kept up with the times by offering high throughput. The new generation of Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) wireless access devices (hereinafter referred to as APs) has been designed to meet these demands, featuring significant improvements in wireless stability and performance. These devices are well-suited for innovative scenarios such as high-density, high-bandwidth, low-latency environments, AI big data server wireless access, the metaverse, XR remote collaboration, XR telemedicine, and XR interactive teaching.
The unlicensed spectrum in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands is limited and congested, making it inevitable for existing Wi-Fi to encounter low QoS issues when running emerging applications such as VR/AR/AI. To achieve the goal of a maximum throughput of no less than 30Gbps, Wi-Fi 7 introduces the 6GHz band and adds new bandwidth modes, including contiguous 240MHz, non-contiguous 160+80MHz, contiguous 320MHz, and non-contiguous 160+160MHz.
- This solution is designed with the Qualcomm IPQ5332 as the main control platform, paired with the QCN9224. The PA amplifier adopts Vanchip's next-generation Wi-Fi 7 linear FEM, with the 2.4 GHz band using VC5371-11*4, the 5 GHz band using VC5771-21*4, and the 6 GHz band using VC5871-11*4. It supports tri-band operation with 2.4 GHz (2x2 MIMO), 5 GHz (4x4 MIMO), and 6 GHz (4x4 MIMO), delivering a total of 10 spatial streams and speeds of up to 20.865 Gbps, providing users with a fiber-like wireless experience.
- The goal of the Wi-Fi 7 protocol is to increase the throughput of WLAN networks to over 30Gbps while providing low-latency access guarantees. To achieve this goal, the entire protocol has undergone corresponding changes at both the PHY layer and the MAC layer. Compared to the Wi-Fi 6 protocol, the main technological advancements introduced by the Wi-Fi 7 protocol are as follows:
3.This product design features an IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating, along with a wide temperature operating range.

9. FAQ Section:
1. Q: What is the maximum output rate of WIFI7?
A: The new Wi-Fi 7 standard can achieve a maximum transmission rate of up to 30Gbps.
2. Q: Compared to WIFI6, what are the significant improvements in WIFI7?
A: In addition to the transmission speed mentioned above, WIFI7 will see improvements in IEEE standards, frequency bands, bandwidth, modulation methods, security protocols, and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO).
3. Q: What is the maximum bandwidth of the 6G frequency band?
A: Supports up to BE320M-MCS13.
4. Q: Is Vanchip's VC5871 a linear or nonlinear FEM?
A: VC5371-11, VC5771-11, and VC5871-11 are all linear FEMs for WIFI7.
5. Q: Can the matching parameters of Vanchip's FEM be fixed without debugging?
A: The TX/RX/ANT routing and matching position parameters of the FEM for general customers may vary. Typically, passive tuning is performed based on the load-pull data provided by the original manufacturer to adjust to an appropriate position before testing. If the performance is not optimal, further fine-tuning and optimization are carried out.
